Sustainable Development and Climate Action
In this dynamic world, we must address a pivotal question: Sustainability. What makes this matter so significant?
The 18th-century Industrial Revolution brought about rapid capitalism and economic development, yet it also sparked excessive depletion of natural resources. By the mid-twentieth century, we started witnessing environmental degradation, posing a significant threat to the natural environment. The notion of sustainability is ongoing in its development. In 2015, the United Nations introduced the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, encompassing 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with Climate Action being one of them.
Yet, a cause for concern is highlighted by data from the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Global Risks Report 2022, where Climate Action Failures have been ranked as the top issue in the Global Risks Perception Survey Ranks. This indicates a necessity for increased efforts to address climate change, or else we will encounter severe consequences. Achieving global temperature control of 1.5°C necessitates a reduction in carbon emissions by up to 43% by 2030, compared to 2019, and reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This is aimed at safeguarding our planet and securing a sustainable future.
Not only that, but sustainable development poses challenges to business models. There has been a growing global movement led by Millennials and Gen Z in the past decade for the use of more eco-friendly and ethical materials in all industries. According to McKinsey & CO, both Millennials and Gen Z combined to hold a purchasing power of $350Bn USD in the United States alone. Businesses must adapt to this trend to meet consumers' increasing demand for eco-friendly products.
The global eco-fiber market is expected to grow and reach $58.29Bn USD by 2027,” – Grand View Research, 2020.
